I would use coca-cola instead of coffee. I use left over coffee in my roast as a tenderizer and cola in my beans, bar b q sauces,desert sauces,in alot of things. if I was going to use it in say tiramisu i would probably simmer it to take some of the water out before using.

I do not drink coffee or any alcohol and so I do not feel comfortable cooking with it. So when a recipe calls for either of these items, is there something I can replace it with?
Thanx for your help.

Hi, Some things to remember about using alcohol is that some who are extremely sensitive to it can have a reaction to it even though there is no alcohol left.

Hi,

Some things to remember about using alcohol is that some who are extremely
sensitive to it can have a reaction to it even though there is no alcohol
left. I am of Native American descent and have had reactions even to a
couple of tablespoons cooked in a sauce for several hours. I just don't like
the reaction and try to stay away from even the slightest bit. This is also
true of certain types of alcoholics which I would probably be if I ever
tried alcohol.

My reaction to coffee is just that I never learned to like the taste. I
finally learned to like tea for my "adult" drink, but I still can't stand
coffee in any form - something my two daughters and two grandchildren tease
me about unmercifully.

While I will agree in basics that you can substitute grape juice for wine,I must stress that you WILL NOT get the same flavor as wines are more than simply

While I will agree in basics that you can substitute grape juice for wine,I must stress that you WILL NOT get the same flavor as wines are more than simply alcoholic grapejuices.Wines contain many subtle tastes obtained from ingredients,the processing,and even the type of barrel they are aged in.So there is no real substitute,only poor copies.

As far as I know you can't substitute coffee unless you try chicore coffee which isn't really coffee, nor even nearly:) You'd be save with chicore trust me. We used to drink it when we were Children as Children weren't allowed coffee in that time, I'm talking 50s lol. To substitute alcolhol you can take any fruit juice. So if the recipe asks for brandy you can use grape juice. But I don't know what you could substitute rum with, may be you can buy some essence which is only a flavor.

Hi Scotty

Some people do not consume coffee, tea (black) or any alcohol for religious reasons. The Mormons for example are not supposed to drink coffee or alcohol.

May I inquire why you don't feel comfortable using these? The alcohol I can understand but please remember you actually cook out the alcohol content and are using the flavors so it would be the same as having a virgin version of a drink.

Hello Melinda

Thank you for explaining why you don't want to cook or bake with coffee or alcohol. It is very much appreciated. I always say that if you are not understood and you WANT to be understood, you have to explain. But you don't have to justify any of your likes or dislikes or doings and not doings. In my opinion, you can consider your self very lucky of not liking coffee and not being able to consume even the smallest amount of alcohol, that saves you a lot of money and it is definitely healthier to live without these addictive things.

Some things to remember about using alcohol is that some who are extremelysensitive to it can have a reaction to it even though there is no alcoholleft. I am of Native American descent and have had reactions even to a
couple of tablespoons cooked in a sauce for several hours. I just don't likethe reaction and try to stay away from even the slightest bit. This is alsotrue of certain types of alcoholics which I would probably be if I ever

HI David, try n experiment this by adding a drop or two of water into the salt moisten it a bit n then add to the oil then u will observe it start disolving, the reason is the iodise salt are dehydrated all the moister are taken out with the result it stays as the same in oil i will give u an example when u r cooking u add oil first heat it n then the other ingrident season it with little or lots of salt after stirring it do the salt stay as solid can u find any of it, here it is the other ingrident consist of moister which help in dissolving the salt
